Hello Wilfred van Velzen!

Some.  Friday (day 1), saw more people but fewer books per  
person.  Today (day 2), saw fewer people but more books per  
person and double the sales than yesterday.

The weather has been really nice.. and generally, when the  
weather is nice, the tourists tend to remain at their cottages.

But when it rains..  I can get a full shop.

Today (Saturday) saw almost everyone wearing a mask. Perhaps  
some education of the matter reached those people.  None the  
less, it is not my duty to evict non-maskers.  As long as  
people are not coughing/sneezing I doubt there is much to worry  
about. They can help themselves to the hand sanitizer at the  
front of the store.  Heck, it's summer.. people are happy and  
healthy.
